From those long-ago days when puberty was but a dream, I discovered the roster of those Music-Makers who, however briefly, touched my heart deeply grew longer w/ each Season of Discovery. Most often, that *touch* included the desire to perform The Music myownself.

The Season is neverending . . .

Came a Time when Dan joined The Passing Parade . . . staying considerably longer than most.

A buddy, Danny Murikami, was Dan's *guitar guy* on the late 70's - early 80's solo tours. No, Danny didn't play - he tuned. Danny parked himself behind amp stacks and stage foliage; ran out long enough to trade instruments w/ Dan; ran back into his redoubt; and tuned away.

The solo tours called for boucous guitars, so Danny was kept mighty busy. One date at then-Irvine Meadows, I sneaked out w/ Danny just before second set lights came up. Very cool to just sit out there in hiding watching Danny's Frenzy in service of Dan's Peaceableness . . . as The Precious Music floated across the summer night.

Dan couldn't have done w/o Danny - and the other way 'round.

Sweet . . .
